1891 Map of San Francisco Mtns

About this map

Flagstaff serves as a primary rail hub in the high desert of the Arizona Territory, situated along the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. This 1891 survey documents the transition from early frontier outposts to established settlements, notably featuring Fort Moroni north of the rail line. The landscape is dominated by the volcanic reach of the San Francisco Mountains, where San Francisco Peak and Kendrick Peak overlook a terrain punctuated by critical water sources like Walker Lake and numerous tanks such as Turkey Tanks. To the northeast, the Little Colorado River winds toward the Grand Falls and Black Falls, showing The Crossing as a vital point for travelers. The map reveals an early network of springs and canyons, including Walnut Cañon and Cañon Diablo, that dictated the path of westward expansion and settlement patterns in the Yavapai region.
